  1. Nearly a decade after completing his four-volume epic, Gene Wolfe returns to science fiction with a monumental multi-volume mega-novel of mystery, war, and revolution. Set in the Whorl, a world inside a giant starship sent from Urth to colonize a distant planet, this new work builds on Wolfe's acclaimed previous writings, which have established him as a leading figure in fantasy and science fiction. His earlier contributions to this universe have been recognized as significant landmarks in contemporary American literature, drawing comparisons to the major works of Tolkien and Lewis. Wolfe's ambitious narrative unfolds in a realm filled with wonders, where gods, humans, aliens, and machines coexist, leading to mysterious adventures both in space and within the human spirit. The ship-world's origins are steeped in legend, and it is governed by enigmatic gods who communicate with their followers through large screens. The human inhabitants, altered by eons of time, remain familiar yet distinct. The story follows Patera Silk as he navigates the demands of these gods, promising to engage readers seeking fresh and innovative perspectives in science fiction. This new saga marks the beginning of what is poised to be a significant contribution to the genre for the decade ahead.
